Songs with titles starting with 'O' [Great for karaoke and shiritori!]

Songs with titles starting with “O” often feature unique names—like those using characters meaning “dance” or “gold,” as well as Osaka-themed songs.

They also tend to be great for getting everyone fired up when singing! I can’t think of many off the top of my head, so I want to look some up…

This is a list that might come in handy at such times: songs with titles that start with “O.” Use it when you’re wondering, “What songs start with ‘O’?” and also as a prompt for shiritori or when choosing tracks at karaoke.

Starting with a poppy introduction that invites you to a paradise where anything is possible, it suddenly shifts to portray the protagonist’s growing peril as they gradually lose their sense of self.

Riding on Sato Chinami’s signature pop melody, the theme sung about is dependence on pleasure.

Set against the majestic nature of Akita Prefecture, this is one of Takeshi Kitayama’s signature songs, powerfully singing of a man’s romance and resolve.

It portrays a protagonist who, even without words, burns with a hidden passion, facing harsh nature head-on while keeping his eyes fixed on the future.

With lyrics that vividly paint the scene and a grand, expansive melody that moves the listener, it is a quintessential example of classic enka.

Released as a single in August 2007, Kitayama performed it passionately on that year’s NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

The coupling track Yume Ichizu is also known for being chosen as the theme song for the TV Asahi period drama Ronin Tsukikage Hyōgo.

This work will likely resonate with those attempting a new challenge or quietly nurturing a fighting spirit in solitude.
